    Lundy Island Fishing Trip, Saturday 23rd April

    Fabulous weather, virtually no wind, sunny and warm all day.
    On way to Lundy Island stopped at a rough ground mark approximately eight miles out of Ilfracombe to try our luck fishing for Spur Dog’s and Bull Huss. We used Herring, Mackerel, and Squid in baits, these were sometimes cocktailed. Very successful mark, as we caught many Spur dogs up to 16lb and several Bull Huss. We fished the best of the tide for an hour or so, then moved swiftly on down to Lundy Island.
    The weather was like a summers day getting very warm (sun burn in April) lol! A different style of fishing as we use feathers some of the other anglers used baited feathers. After a few minutes of setting up the drift, caught several small Pollock most returned to fight another day. Tried further up the island again and after several different drifts caught lots of small Pollock again and some very nice Coal fish and then moved again further up the island where we added Ballen Wrasse and the first lot of Mackerel for this season to the species list, all mature fish; one of the mackerel actually topped the one lb mark!
    We all had an absolutely superb day’s fishing, very comfortable, clean and quick boat. The skipper John was helpful, knowledgeable and very patient with the less experienced anglers.
    Species for trip, Dog fish, Bull Huss, Spur dog, Coal Fish, Mackerel, Pollock and Ballen Wrasse.

    6 May 2011 by Terry Bolingbroke

    Report on-board Gloria B11

    Now the winter has finally passed the Spring fishing is picking up nicely.
    The last few trips have produced much better fish counts, with Skate and Bass being the main target. 25 to 30 fish are now being caught off each trip and improving daily.
    We have had Skate up to 14lb so far and Bass 9lb, all female Bass and Skate are being returned for future conservation.
    This year looks set to be a much better year than in the past.
    Tope and Smoothound fishing will be coming soon, so get your bookings in.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Cracking weather again this day for a great team of lads from the Leeds area. The fishing was pretty quiet on the morning so we pushed off to some wrecks 20 miles off and found good fishing for 3 or 4 hours. Best fish of the day was a lovely cod of 16lb 5oz. Had he caught this one a couple of weeks ago he would have won £1000.00 in the Spring Competition!! Unlucky !! Pictured is Will Thompson from Menston nr Leeds with his fish of 16lb 5oz., this being the heaviest cod caught this year from Whitby on a 10 hour trip.
